What would happen? Which means, what happens when the ice of Greenland is not like a frozen lid but like a machine? To researchers who attempt to predict long-term sea-level rise and evolving weather ...

New studies show how algae grows on ice and snow, creating “dark zones” that exacerbate melting in the consequential region.

Researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UC San Diego) have found a new layer under Greenland's ice sheet that ...

Seismic imaging detects subglacial sediments up to 650 feet thick, letting glaciers slide faster over soft beds than rock and ...

Tectonic processes and the "ghosts" of past ice sheets are contorting, lifting and pulling Greenland in different directions, new research reveals. Greenland sits on the North American tectonic plate, ...

Greenland sits at the center of a striking climate contrast, even as sea levels rise across almost every other part of Earth. As global temperatures climb, glaciers and ice sheets melt faster, and ...

Greenland's ice flows The study shows the rapid flow of ice, moving at average speeds of up to 15 m per day, from glaciers and ice sheets at points around the Greenland Ice Sheet (see image below).

This is the view described by Durham glaciologist Tom Chudley, when writing about his research showing the Greenland ice ...
